Ventura ArtWalk and Knitting Installation……for a Purpose

YARNBOMBING, ARTWALK, KNITTING FOR THE HOMELESS……

What a Great Community Event we had here in Ventura California!

WE DID IT:-)
Here is what we accomplished in 10 days……

We asked for 12×12 knitted or crocheted squares
One Square……becomes 50 in a week……becomes 150 in 10days……becomes a Communty Patchwork Quilt installed on Michele Chapin’s Fence in time for the ArtWalk……to later become blankets for our homeless♥

……and Prayer Flags blowing the wind……

After our Community Patchwork Quilt Installation……out of the blue arrives the YarnBombers from Ojai……to add to this FiberFest and colorful Extravaganza in time for the annual ArtWalk……

I guess they were caught by the local police, but hopefully no harm done in beautifying the world a little……

XOXOXOXOXOXO back to you WE LOVE YOU

And after all the excitement and fun, Scot and I got to show our work among hundreds of other artists in Ventura. The town was buzzing with art, color, music, food……the whole community in support of the importance of All the Arts.
